Thick neck?

[LV_Rider]

What type of lifts, if any, will make your neck bigger?

Does it thicken up with shrug-type movements?

Deadlifts, shrugs. The neck muscles contract in just about every lift you do, so as long as you keep lifting, you'll have a big neck that makes buying dress shirts a pain in the ass in no time.

Deadlifts are #1.
Actually all heavy compound movements thicken my neck - cheat culs, overhead press, squat, bench press, BB rows, ect. I never train to isolate my neck.
